CHAPTEr onEA new land

Hiccup was a young Viking. He lived with his dad,

Stoick, on the island of Berk. A long time ago,

dragons were a big problem, but now Vikings

and dragons never fought. Hiccup loved his

dragon, Toothless.

Hiccup was with Astrid and their dragons.

They flew away from Berk. ’Look, Astrid! A new

land,’ Hiccup said. ’Let’s go and see it.’

Hiccup looked down and saw a Viking ship.

The Vikings wanted to capture their dragons!

‘Stop! What are you doing?’ Hiccup shouted.

‘I’m Eret,’ cried one of the Vikings. ‘I capture

dragons for Drago’s army.’

Eret attacked, but Hiccup and Astrid flew away

on their dragons.

‘Drago is going to take all your dragons!’ Eret

shouted after them.

Back on Berk, Hiccup talked to his dad,

the Viking chief.

‘Drago has a dragon army?’ Stoick asked.

‘Help me save Berk!’

But Hiccup wanted to talk to Drago first.

‘You can’t talk to Drago,’ Stoick said. ‘He’s

a very bad man.’
